It demonstrates the [markov-namegen](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/markov-namegen-lib) [haxelib](https://lib.haxe.org/p/markov-namegen). Read the library docs [here](https://tw1ddle.github.io/markov-namegen-lib/).\n\n## Features\n* Hundreds of customizable/combinable training data presets.\n* Configurable corpus, order and prior model parameter settings.\n* Filter results by length, start, end, content and regex match.\n* Sort by Damerau-Levenshtein distance to list results by similarity.\n* Save and share custom data, settings and results with one click.\n\n## Usage\n\nRun the [demo](https://www.samcodes.co.uk/project/markov-namegen/) to generate your own words. Press the \"Generate\" button to begin, or select \"Settings\" to configure advanced options.\n\nFor example, enter the settings:\n\n```\nTraining Dataset: English Towns\nOrder: 5\nBackoff: 1 (on)\nLength: 8-12\nStarts with: b\nInclude: ham\nSimilarity To: birmingham\n```\n\nClick the \"Generate\" button and the results will be displayed on the page. Here are my first 10 results when using the settings above:\n```\nBarkingham Basingham Birkenham Bebingham Bollingham Bridlingham Billenham Berwickham Botteringham Bradnincham\n```\n\n## Screenshots\nHere is the demo in action. Using a single data set:\n\n[![Screenshot](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/MarkovNameGenerator/blob/master/screenshots/screenshot2.png?raw=true \"Markov Namegen Procedural Random Name Generator screenshot 2\")](https://www.samcodes.co.uk/project/markov-namegen/)\n\nAppending two presets:\n\n[![Screenshot](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/MarkovNameGenerator/blob/master/screenshots/screenshot4.png?raw=true \"Markov Namegen Procedural Random Name Generator screenshot 4\")](https://www.samcodes.co.uk/project/markov-namegen/)\n\nJoining the individual words from two presets:\n\n[![Screenshot](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/MarkovNameGenerator/blob/master/screenshots/screenshot5.png?raw=true \"Markov Namegen Procedural Random Name Generator screenshot 5\")](https://www.samcodes.co.uk/project/markov-namegen/)\n\n## Demo Setup\n\nTo run the [demo](https://www.samcodes.co.uk/project/markov-namegen/) locally, clone the repository and run the following in your console within the root folder of the repository:\n\n```\nhaxe MarkovNames.hxml\n```\n\nThen navigate to the [bin](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/MarkovNameGenerator/tree/master/bin) directory and open [index.html](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/MarkovNameGenerator/blob/master/bin/index.html) in a web browser to use the name generator.\n\n## Notes\n* Many of the concepts used for the generator were suggested in [this article](http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Names_from_a_high_order_Markov_Process_and_a_simplified_Katz_back-off_scheme) by Jeffrey Lund.\n* If you have any questions or suggestions then [get in touch](https://twitter.com/Sam_Twidale) or open an issue.\n* The embedded word lists are included in the name generator library [repository](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/markov-namegen-lib/tree/master/word_lists).\n* Read the [documentation](https://tw1ddle.github.io/markov-namegen-lib/).\n\n## License\n* The [haxelib](https://github.com/Tw1ddle/markov-namegen-lib/) code is provided under the MIT license.\n* The website and demo code are licensed under CC BY-NC.\n* The noUiSlider settings sliders are WTFPL.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftw1ddle%2Fmarkovnamegenerator","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftw1ddle%2Fmarkovnamegenerator","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftw1ddle%2Fmarkovnamegenerator/lists"}
